Monocyte-Amplified Transcriptional Signatures of Human Diseases.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Blood-based biomarkers discovered by machine learning often lack disease specificity and cross-population robustness for clinical applications. We describe a biomarker discovery strategy that exploits monocytes as circulating sentinels to amplify disease-perturbed signals in blood. This strategy leverages monocyteMINER, a mechanistic transcriptional regulatory network inferred from monocyte transcriptomes of 1,202 healthy individuals. As proof-of-concept, we uncovered a 31-gene atherosclerosis-perturbed network that underpins disease etiology, identifying diagnostic signatures for coronary artery disease (ARAP2, P2RY14, FKBP15) and acute myocardial infarction (SERPINA1, ASGR2). For tuberculosis (TB), monocyteMINER uncovered a 5-gene signature (MAS_TB_META5: ANKRD22, AIM2, VAMP5, GBP5, TGM2) from just 438 samples. MAS_TB_META5 outperformed 77 existing signatures across 18 cohorts (>4,400 patients, 12 countries), achieving WHO target product profile for high-sensitivity screening (including in advanced HIV patients), and predicting TB progression up to 5 years before diagnosis. Thus, our findings show that monocyteMINER offers a generalizable platform for discovering clinically actionable biomarkers for diverse diseases.
